nosyposy | Are options trading profitable? |
Are options trading profitable? I checked on the internet and found a lot of personal experiences (for and against) on stocks and futures trading, but could not find any on options trading. Has anyone made any profit trading options and is it possible to start small (maybe a 1000 bucks!) and make some healthy income through compounding. Any real-life experiences? |

Options are profitable. The key is to always hedge your trades, make sure you have coverage and you don't get greedy or reckless with your trades. Keep emotion and excitement out of your thought process. Stick to the fundamentals, read the numbers objectively and you will make headway.
Sometimes even the best trade will go bad, know that. Markets are not efficient or rational. But as long as you keep your wits about you, you will move forward and make some money. Not a killing necessarily, but something. |

1) Yes.
2) Yes.
I suggest you to stay away from options if you have assets of less than $250,000.00 (excluding your residences and your cars)

When you buy stocks you make a forecast: the stock will go up in future. (few minutes, few hours, months or years; doe snot matter time period or by how much up)
When you buy option you make a forecast: the underlying stock will go up by a specified amount and by a fixed date.
NOW, which is easier to forecast? As in meteorology, is it easier to predict the weather tomorrow or 5 days from today?
Trading options requires much more fine tuning forecast that is difficult even for the pros. As a result the profits and losses can be greater than trading stocks alone.
Because of much more complex nature of option forecast, the techniques involving their trading is more complex too than simply trading stocks. But even if you master the technique by reading and practicing, how can be sure of your own 'fine tuned' forecast without many many years of experience. Even then there is no guarantee because of the intrinsic nature of the market. |

While I have not personal experience yet, I have two brothers that are very succesful at trading options.
They both work a program called "Optioneering" (not sure if it is spelled right). It was a $5,000 course.
$1000 is really not much money to start with.
What kind of a proffesional investor recomends a CD? That has one of the lowest yields of investment, short of hiding your money in your matress. |

Trading options is a zero sum game. For every dollar made one is lost by the counter party to the trade. It is nothing like investing in stocks where you are investing in a company because you think that they are growing and should be able to make more money in the future than they do today. Using options as a hedge in your portfolio is sound investing. Trading options is gambling, its fun but the odds aren't with you. |

Options can be used to make money if you have market experience, technical analysis skills, and familiarity with the your selected company. They can also be used to effectively hedge against serious losses when you are selling a stock short (selling shares that you don't own) by trading on margin (money borrowed from the invesment company). This type of transaction is especially effective in bear markets, as you can sell a short sell a stock for say $100 and then buy it back when it falls to $80, which will give you $20 profit, minus trading commissions. My advise, stay away from options if you have $1000 to invest, the risk is on your experience is just not worth gambling it away. Start slow...with investments..go for CDs, or find tax free municipal or treasury bonds. |

Yes it is very profitable. However, if you are asking these questions, the odds of you making money are very low. I am a professional investor and I know what I am doing and I am extremely conservative.
Stay away!
You are walking along the edge of the Grand Canyon (blindfolded). You really need to have a deep understanding of these markets to participate. It is strongly in your self interest to stay away. |

Ummm....markets in options are EXTREMELY efficient despite what gale force said. With that...odds are as a retail option trader, you will lose your money. Do people make money?? Absolutely! Look at the traders on AMEX, Philly, CBOE, P Coast, etc. Lots to be made. But it is like extremely highspeed chess. Complex and FAST. I go with the "put it in a CD" recommendation. |

Option trading has become the new buzz in the stock market. Do yourself a favor and move on. Options are the most hazardous forms of investing. Incredibly complex.
My advice - take the grand and put it in a CD. Leave options trading to the pros. |
